The traffic can get noisy as of busy road. Monday morning a construction sight had noisy trucks and fortcliffs. So best to stay friday and saturday night. Unless a heavy sleeper. Nice and clean. Do need some upgrades for electric jug and the mugs were very small. The sheets were not very soft but other than that very pleased and nice services. Very clean and tidy.

The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, adding to a pleasant stay. The rooms were serviced daily and were quite quiet, comfortable and spacious with a modern feel. Conveniently placed, shopping and restaurants were close by. The outdoor activities were also close, as well as the Coastal Walk.
